Description
Amazing Dogs with Amazing Jobs by Laura Greaves offers amazing true stories of 30 dogs and their extraordinary jobs!
Dogs have been living with and helping humans for around fifteen thousand years. In ancient times, dogs were either hunters or guardians, but today, they undertake all kinds of amazing tasks.
In this book, discover how Bailey the border collie became the Assistant Director of Seagulls at the Australian National Maritime Museum, and learn about Caesar, the footy mascot for the Western Bulldogs, and what he does during the footy season. Explore how Mr Walker became a canine ambassador at a Melbourne hotel and how Molly Polly, the Aussie silky terrier, saves lives.
With the right training, there is almost nothing a dog can't do. How truly amazing is that?!
